Adding MP4 Video as camera

Configuration
1

Hey there,

I’m trying to work out how to add some local traffic cams (TFL Jam Cams) as a camera in home assistant to view on the dashboard or pass through with the Homekit bridge.

The camera feeds (example) are 11 second long MP4 videos that are refreshed every couple minutes. The URL is unique for each feed but is static so no worries about it changing.

I’ve tried to add one as a generic camera but I can’t play anything. I can however see a screenshot of the feed on my dashboard with the unavailable error. I’ve also tried to add this through the configuration.yaml with FFMPEG but get nothing either:

camera:
  - platform: ffmpeg
    name: JamCam1
    input: "https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/jamcams.tfl.gov.uk/xxxxx.xxxxx.mp4"

Would anyone know how to get this going!
